A short poem about Black Success

Lists

They put you on the hate list
Cause you weren't on the wait list
But you were on the plate list
Eating steak and caviar
Dining like a movie star
They had to watch from afar
Being black ain't always bad
Using all the skills you had
Your success made some folks mad
